Just installed Nascar 4 on a Compaq P/3 450. Using 16m voodoo blaster
banshee.....Anyway, got the game to run using Start/AutoRun....adjusted
multi-player properties....exited game....now game will not start using
AutoRun or Desktop icon....Any ideas?
Thanks!
To be honest with you the only time I've seen this happen was when the disk
being installed was a "backup" disk, not an original. If it is the original
disk, I would direct your questions to www.papy.com
Best of luck,
edb
PS: There are apparently some legitimate problems with the CD copy
protection system, go to the above link, click on Forums, then click on
Nascar3 forum (the Nascar 4 forum is in there) and read/post with people
having similar problems.

PSS: In other words, like many people who have the CD problem, you're
screwed. The fact that there are a good many people who cannot play a game
that they paid money for because of some copy-protection scheme seems to
escape the notice of Sierra. As of now, Sierra is only suggesting ways of
getting around a problem that they created. There's none of this-- "Well,
we goofed. And until we fix our mistake here's a workaround." It's more
like, in so many words-- "Well, tough luck. We know you paid money for a
game that you can't play. But, heck, that's not our problem. It's yours.
So in our infinite graciousness, here's a workaround."
It's a sad situation.

companies that have failed to properly incorporate support for one of the
most popular copy-protection systems used by software developers.

Well, he can still PLAY the game fine. He just has to go through the Startmenu
to do it.

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

Y'know, I think I had the same problem with Nascar 3. If I tried to run the
program from inserting the CD, it would crash. I had to run it from the
menu...
I never figured out why... :(
